Methods 1: Only apple vinegar was used to treat tinea pedis.
1. Buy 5% cloudy apple vinegar. The cloudy and brown filamentous substance in apple vinegar is called vinegar mother, which is a beneficial substance. Vinegar mother apple vinegar is of good quality and contains effective nutrients, which makes the treatment more effective.
2. Pour 2 to 4 cups of apple vinegar into a large basin. Enough apple vinegar can soak your feet in it. If you want enough liquid in the basin, you can consider heating more water. The ratio of vinegar to water is at most one to one, and don't add too much water. You can use white vinegar without apple vinegar.
Wash your feet before soaking them with vinegar. Wash your feet with soap and water, then dry them with a towel or dry them naturally. If you wipe your feet with a towel, please wash them immediately after use to avoid spreading fungi to other parts of your body.
4. soak your feet in vinegar water. Put your feet in a big basin filled with vinegar water. The acid contained in vinegar can kill fungi, soften and peel off cocoons formed by fungi. You can also wipe the fungal infection with a cloth during foot bath. 5% vinegar should not hurt your skin, but if you feel burning or erythema, please stop soaking your feet and dilute them with water.
5. Soak your feet with vinegar water 10 to 30 minutes. Stick to soaking feet two or three times a day for a week. After one week, keep soaking 1 or 2 times a day for 3 days. Wipe your feet after soaking.
6. Apply apple vinegar directly to the affected area, with a small area. If the fungal infection is small, you can wipe the affected area with a cotton ball or cloth dipped in a little vinegar solution. Press the cloth on the fungus for a few minutes, then continue to dip in vinegar water and repeat the operation. Rub it twice a day for 10 to 30 minutes each time.
7. Apply some moisturizing cream to your feet after soaking them. The acid contained in vinegar may harm the skin. In order to protect the skin, you can apply a layer of moisturizing cream after washing your feet.

Apply the mixture to the affected area and wait 10 to 20 minutes.
Wipe with vinegar and honey and dry your feet.
2. Soak your feet alternately with hydrogen peroxide and apple vinegar. Like apple vinegar, hydrogen peroxide can also effectively remove fungi. Hydrogen peroxide is too powerful to be used every day. You can soak your feet with apple vinegar the day before and 2% hydrogen peroxide the next day. Buy 3% hydrogen peroxide.
Dilute hydrogen peroxide according to the ratio of water to hydrogen peroxide 1 2.

Don't mix hydrogen peroxide with vinegar and use it alternately. The mixture of the two will produce peracetic acid, which will burn the skin and its smell will also burn the lungs.
3. Apply colloidal silver after soaking feet. Colloidal silver refers to the 0.000 1 micron solution of metallic silver particles, which can effectively remove fungi and bacteria. After soaking feet and air-drying, you can apply colloidal silver solvent to the affected area and then air-dry. Don't eat colloidal silver by mistake, so as not to damage your health.

Method 3: Prevent fungal recurrence.
1, keep the affected area clean and fresh. Keep the affected area clean and dry before and after each foot bath. Tinea pedis likes humid environment, and wet feet may lead to aggravated fungal infection and recurrence of old diseases. In order to keep your feet dry, you can wear socks made of natural fibers or breathable artificial fibers. If the socks are wet, please change them in time.
You can wear hole shoes or sandals in hot weather.
It is best to wear hole shoes, bath shoes or sandals near supermarkets such as swimming pools, gyms, hotels, baths and dressing rooms.
2. Wash shoes often. Fungi are difficult to remove, and often remain in shoes or towels, and they will be infected once they are touched. Therefore, when the foot is infected by fungi, all items that come into contact with the foot should be disinfected. Wash your shoes often, including the inside, and then dry them in the sun. When the shoes are dry, sprinkle some antifungal powder in them to prevent the fungus from recurring.
3. Wear shoes with your feet. Foot fungi are usually caused by sweaty feet and shoes that squeeze feet. Don't buy shoes that squeeze your feet, buy loose shoes.
4. Change shoes frequently every day. This can ensure that the shoes are dry to wear.
5. Disinfect the bathtub and shower. As mentioned above, fungi like humid environment. After a patient with tinea pedis takes a bath, some fungi may remain in the bathroom, leading to tinea pedis infection during bathing, so the shower and bathtub should be disinfected. Wear gloves, scrub the bathroom floor with bleach or apple vinegar, and discard the used gloves and sponges after wiping.
Tip: Don't mix towels, socks, slippers and shoes to prevent fungi from spreading to others or being infected.
Warning: Before soaking your feet with apple vinegar, check that there is no open wound on your feet. If apple vinegar enters the wound, it will produce a very strong tingling sensation.
Although vinegar has been used to treat foot fungi for thousands of years, there is no accurate scientific research to prove its efficacy, so it is best to treat fungi with ointment sold in drug stores.
If washing feet with vinegar for 2 to 4 weeks still doesn't work, please consult a doctor.
